Are the People Who Answer Questions Paid Staff?

[sparkle123]

Just curious - are the people who help with questions paid staff?
Thanks!

No. The only "paid" person here is the site owner/admin, Greg Bernhardt. The rest of us "staff" (Mentors, Science Advisors, Homework Helpers) are all volunteers.

And don't remind them. Can you believe these suckers do this FOR FREE?

I'm trying to get some of them to clean my house and work in a large field I'm trying to build.

We get paid in terms of distracting ourselves from the work we *should* do.
And by the thanks we get from the people we help.
And, errr... sometimes by anger tantrums from people who feel we don't help enough.

One of the biggest payments I get is from the fine education I'm getting here.

Wait, we're not getting paid?

I'm getting out of here!

I pay Greg, you mean you guys get to do it for free?

You pay Greg for every person you get to ban? That's a lot of money

I get paid twice as much as Evo.

Back in the old days we did get free Porsches and trips to Bora Bora. <sigh> The good old days...

Doesn't scientology give out good vacations to their employees?

I could answer that, but you'll have to pay me first.

This must be the site of the greatest concentration of generosity in the world. THANK YOU ALL! :)
